Video from the Fair!

Had to share the bull riding from the Fair! Look out Ty Murray! Here comes Big A!

Back to School! YEE HAW!

I was amazed that I got a picture! This was seconds before Jason chickened out on this ride! Lucky for him his brother was able to get the Carnies attention to get him off before it started! Poor kid was in tears! Big A stayed on and loved the ride!
3 overly anxious parade watchers had their seats positioned for the best angle to obtain candy!
We think that our little girl enjoyed the parade! She sure looks happy!

Little O has NO FEAR of animals! Here she is trying to make nice with the geese at the fair!

Big A is showing off the picture he took that he entered in the fair!
Little J shows off his butterfly art that he made and entered in the fair. He got a blue ribbon for it...
Each and every goat and sheep was greeted and pet at the fair! She was really cute walking by each pen saying "HI GO" (meaning goat!)
A and J went on the Sizzler... it was one of the few rides that Little J would go on.... he is still a chicken! Big A - no chicken here! He even rode the mechanical bull!

FINALLY! The gruesome twosome are back to school! Even little O seemed happy to see the school bus pull away! But - to recap the end of summer... we did go to the County Fair over the Labor Day weekend. Both boys entered some things in the Fair this year, so it had a little more meaning for them! A few art projects, some baking projects, A Lego disaster, a photo that Big A took, and some jointly harvested tomatoes from Nana and Grandpa were entered. The boys got a few blue ribbons and some great ideas for next year!

Little O enjoyed her very first county fair! She had a blast! Well, minus that major meltdowns when it was time to strap into the stroller to leave! She even played a few games! Each animal she could reach, she had to touch! We had to draw the line around the geese and chickens!

We also went to the parade. The boys are pretty quick on the draw when it comes to snatching all the candy thrown out! Little O picked up on that FAST! She had a blast watching all the horses in the parade.... except the ones with Indians on them! She was a little leary! The clowns spooked her too!

All in all, the weekend went a bit too fast!

It is hard to believe that Big A is in 4th grade already! Little J went into 2nd! Neither one of them had any back to school stress the night before - which is a good thing! I am glad to get back on a normal schedule! Hope that everyone had a great summer too! Pretty soon we will have some soccer pictures to post! Here we go again!!!!!!

Love,

Amy and family!
